Aruba AP-305 Wi-Fi 5 Indoor Access Point

The HPE Aruba Networking AP-305 is an enterprise-grade indoor wireless access point from the Aruba 300 Series, designed for reliable Wi-Fi connectivity in offices, schools, retail environments, clinics, and other indoor deployments.

The AP-305 uses a 3x3 MIMO 5 GHz 802.11ac radio with a maximum data rate of up to 1,300 Mbps and a 2x2 MIMO 2.4 GHz 802.11n radio supporting up to 300 Mbps. This provides a combined peak data rate of approximately 1.6 Gbps across the two bands.

Note: Although it is sometimes incorrectly marketed as a Wi-Fi 6 access point, the AP-305 is a Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) model. Aruba's Wi-Fi 6 successor family is the 500 Series.

Aruba AP-305 Technical Specifications

Aruba AP-305 Wireless Performance

The AP-305 provides a 3x3 MIMO 802.11ac radio on 5 GHz, supporting up to 1,300 Mbps with compatible 3-stream VHT80 clients. The 2.4 GHz radio uses 2x2 MIMO and supports up to 300 Mbps with compatible 802.11n HT40 clients.

MU-MIMO on the 5 GHz radio allows supported client devices to be served more efficiently. The AP also incorporates Aruba RF management technologies designed to optimize channel and transmit-power settings and improve wireless reliability.

Aruba AP-305 Antenna Design

The AP-305 uses three integrated dual-band downtilt omnidirectional antennas. The integrated antenna design makes the AP suitable for conventional ceiling-mounted indoor deployments without requiring separately installed external Wi-Fi antennas.

Aruba AP-305 IoT and Bluetooth

The AP-305 includes an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio for location-based services, asset tracking, beacons, and other Bluetooth-enabled applications. An IoT expansion radio can also be added for supported Zigbee deployments.

Aruba AP-305 Applications

• Enterprise office networks
• Small and medium-sized workplaces
• Schools and educational institutions
• Retail environments
• Clinics and healthcare facilities
• Branch offices
• Guest wireless networks
• Bluetooth-enabled location and asset tracking
• Indoor Wi-Fi deployments using existing Wi-Fi 5 infrastructure

Aruba AP-305 Compatibility

The AP-305 is a controller-managed Aruba 300 Series access point. HPE also offered the corresponding IAP-305 Instant model for controllerless deployments. The AP-305 is designed to operate with compatible Aruba wireless controllers and supported Aruba software.

The AP-305 supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless standards and can serve both Wi-Fi 5 and legacy Wi-Fi clients. Network infrastructure should provide compatible Gigabit Ethernet and PoE connectivity.

Aruba AP-305 vs Wi-Fi 6

The AP-305 should not be represented as a Wi-Fi 6 access point. It belongs to the Aruba 300 Series, which uses Wi-Fi 5 / IEEE 802.11ac. For Aruba Wi-Fi 6 deployments, the Aruba 500 Series provides the appropriate generation of hardware.
